Totally agree if 1 of our 2 first choice wingers is leaving then it makes sense, although I would be underwhelmed. If not he'll be third choice a reason why he's leaving Saints. We already have an experienced reserve in MDJ and other options if we have injuries. At the moment it's all speculation.

"Bash the club?" Why does everything that isn't positive have to equal bashing the club?

All I have seen is people giving opinion on a potential signing.

I'll stick with "bash the club", thanks all the same.

There will be a meaningful reserves competition next year also. Ccs is spot on in his "If, then" assessment. Where has it been said Swift is now our first choice winger and we are binning off the other wingers in the squad? It hasn't yet we are already defaulting to "waste of space", "Agar era squad" histrionics on the basis of half a sentence in the HDM. We should kept Rankin above Tuimavave, signed Brough instead of Connor, and not bothered with Kelly, so we were advised when their signings were announced. Clearly Radford's record isn't perfect but he's got more right than wrong IMO so until a fuller picture and confirmation is made I feel the criticism which some find so energising a tad premature and unnecessary.

It's a forum. We get linked with a player, people give their opinions on it. Shock horror, sometimes they will be wrong.

Can't have an opinion unless it involves blowing smoke up the clubs backside.

I agree.

Not about Swift,

Only joking.

There having a knockonathon on the pie & Wire forums, regarding the CCup Tommy L tackle.

No, it’s something a reasonable person would understand. You label players as garbages and cast offs, hardly respectful of a pro athlete.

I am certain, after the 91 premiership win and finishing 3rd we were well ahead of Halifax when Harrison was sold.

Daniel Alvaro been touted around sl, surprised he’s not been linked to us , only 25 to

Harrison was sold for telling young players to ask for more money, so I was told anyway.

Which Harrison, Jack, Mick, Chris, Karl, Ford.

Karl, but I may be well off.

If memory serves, Karl was flogged after we won the Prem trophy against Widnes, quite a tidy sum was paid for him, but can’t recall the reason, we was probably skint.

As with any player sale, we never know why, and nor should we.

No, there is nothing reasonable in suggesting you can physically touch an opinion. It's like the ramblings of a madman

And why should pro athletes have respect by default? That's almost as bizarre as suggesting you can touch someone's opinion

Thank christ everyone agrees that swift is garbage now let's move on

Swift nor Dawson are good enough to be our first choice wingers. Bureta and Ratu are streets ahead and we have to do everything possible to keep them both. I'd like Swift on the basis we're getting rid of Dawson. Otherwise, we'll never bring another Briscoe or Lineham through our system. All these super average signings stop potential Internationals coming though. Swift or Dawson would've become the real deal by this stage in their careers if it was ever going to happen. I don't actually mind Swift but just see him as squandered salary cap.

A reasonable person would know it’s a metaphor. And if you are going to be as pedantic as you are the original comment was “almost tangible “

Yes, personally I do feel any who forged a career in pro sport does deserve respect for their dedication to having the fitness and skill levels to be paid to play.

You appear to be Bipolar. It’s either brilliant or garbage.

I don’t think it’s bipolar but more if Meg the Peg has said yes or no

Spot on! We overspent big style that season and after making £87,000 the previous season we lost £107,000 despite winning at Old Trafford Harrison was sold for £100,000 to Halifax and we were told the Club would go under if he wasn't sold.

You obviously don't even understand what bipolar is so I'd suggest you don't start throwing around insults about mental health.

As for your comment on pro sportsmen, I presume you have utmost respect for the likes of mike tyson then? OJ simpson too? Along with a multitude of others to scummy to mention

Gareth Raynor anyone ?
